PITFALLS TO AVOID FALLING INTO DEBT

Bonus hunting: Another pitfall to avoid is the temptation to use credit cards instead of cash in an effort to accumulate more travel miles or cash back bonuses. Consumers should aspire to use cash over credit whenever possible. Doing so ensures consumers are not spending money they don’t have, which is one of the most common ways that individuals build significant consumer debt.

Updating Your Home’s Electrical System

When it comes time to update the electrical system, it is always best to work with licensed and bonded electricians who have the expertise to work with electrical wiring without getting injured. This is not a do-it-yourself type of job since it requires specialized training.

Electricians likely will recommend upgrading the electrical panel to bring more power from the utility poles into the home. This can include replacing the existing meter and circuit breaker box to allow it to handle more power or replacing items that are obsolete or dangerous.

Many older homes are only capable of handling a minimum number of amps, utilizing just a few circuits. But nowadays, when homeowners have far more electronics in their homes than they once did, increased demand on electricity can overload a circuit. Tripping a circuit breaker is a safety measure to prevent the wire from becoming overheated and causing a fire. However, in some old systems, the circuit breaker will not trip, and this can be problematic.

Rewiring a home is another step. Wire insulation can deteriorate over time, and new wires may be needed. This can be messy and time-consuming, but it’s a small price to pay for safety. When rewiring an electrician also may suggest new outlets. Many home building codes now require outlets with ground fault interruptors, or GFIs, in kitchens, bathrooms and other rooms exposed to moisture. Some older homes may not even have three-pronged outlets, so this will necessitate an update as well.

GENERAL CONTRACTING

BENEFITS OF HIRING PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS

The DIY movement has inspired many homeowners to tackle home repair and remodeling projects on their own. DIY projects can be rewarding, and many homeowners who have embraced the DIY movement have discovered talents they never before knew they had.

But no matter how simple popular home renovation television shows make remodeling projects appear, homeowners should know that such undertakings are far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time they have to complete projects can cost themselves substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.

* On Sept. 30, 1962, in Oxford, Mississippi, James Meredith, an African American, is escorted onto the University of Mississippi campus by U.S. Marshals, setting off a riot that left two men dead. The racial violence was quelled by more than 3,000 federal soldiers.

This is the feast-time of the year When hearts grow warm and home more dear; When Autumn’s crimson torch Toexpiresflash again in winter fires; And they who tracked October’s Throughflight woods with gorgeous hues bedight, In charmèd circle sit and praise

The goodly log’s triumphant blaze.

~Harriet McEwen Kimball (1834–1917), “The Feast-Time of the Year,” c.1880

Home renovation projects can be both exciting and tricky. Do-ityourselfers are inspired by designs showcased in magazines, websites and their own communities. When DIY enthusiasts see a design they like, it’s understandable that they may want to emulate these looks at home. Remodeling is one of the larger DIY undertakings, and it goes beyond simple carpentry. Considering demolition, reconstruction, electrical, plumbing, and masonry work may be part of the DIY package, homeowners who are thinking about renovations must first stock up on the tools and other supplies of the trade. Having the right tools can mean the difference between a job well done and a job that needs to be redone. & DRAMA WITH BOLD PAINT COLORS

Stick to boldness on interchangeable items. Those who like to experiment with color may find that they like to switch out the colors now and again. Instead of having to repaint every few months, use decorative items in bright shades to make swapping out color that much easier. For example, replace area rugs, throw pillows and draperies. Paint over terra cotta flower pots when the mood strikes.

GARDENING IN AUTUMN

Autumn is gardening season. That statement may not seem right to those who think of the spring as the peak time to care for lawns and gardens. However, autumn is an ideal time to get into the garden and ensure that flowers, trees and garden beds will over-winter successfully.

A number of things make autumn a prime gardening season. The cooler days of fall enable gardeners to spend ample time outdoors without the threat of blazing heat. In addition, soil harbors a lot of residual warmth in autumn. Also, the colder temperatures haven’t yet arrived in autumn, nor have the leaves completely fallen, making fall a prime time to assess what’s already in the landscape, what needs pruning back and where to address planting for next year.

Your recent article mentioned using a tarp to get rid of invasive weeds. Can I use that method to get rid of my lily of the valley which has spread too much? Or,if I use week killer on them,how withthatlonguntilIcanreplantsomethinginspot?IalsohavethatproblemmyBlueCampanella.

Tarping is an effective tool to have in your gardening toolbox. It can be used as an effective tool in small areas to starveaplantof nothephotosynthesis.lightsoitcan’tperformTobemosteffective,tarpshouldbesolidcoloredwithlightcomingthroughifheldup

to the sun. Another process that I recommend for population control of unwanted plants is the use of cardboard and mulch. My process goes like this. Weed whack plant as close to the ground as possible. Install cardboard or heavy construction paper over the area, overlapping by 4-6”. Be sure to cover all the area. If the bed is next to a structure, be sure the paper goes up on the structure 3”. Then install 3” to 4” of hardwood mulch. Be sure not to move the paper and that you have it covered by that depth.This is the most effect way that I have used to get unwanted plants

I have a small raised tomato garden. The tomatoes are good.The problem is that something is making small holes after the tomato is ripe. We ruled out deer. We sprayed with a powder. It only happens during the night. We never saw any bugs,etc.Any ideas..?

It is hard to know for certain, but my thought is Tomato pinworm: young yellowish-gray larva only a few

millimeters long make blotch mines in leaves; older yellow, green, or gray, purple-spotted larva up to 8 mm long fold leaves and web them together or bore into stems,buds,and fruit; leaving fruits with pinholes and discolored blotches. It is also possible that it is something else that might not typically feed on tomatoes, too. Your vigilant observation and inspection of the fruit might find more evidence which may be helpful.

SENIOR NEWS

By Matilda Charles Scammers and the Omicron Vaccine

e latest scam against seniors appears to have started the very day the new Covid omicron vaccine was announced as being approved by the Food and Drug Administration.

e call I received promised to help me get to the front of the line ... ahead of all the people who were going to be eligible at the same time. All I had to do was provide my banking information or Medicare card number so they could “hold a place” for me in the appointments.

A er all, the scammer said, millions of people were going to be rushing to get the vaccine. I didn’t want to be le out, did I?

I had a few minutes, so I decided to test the scammer’s actual knowledge about the vaccine. He was fuzzy on the information and stumbled to answer, sometimes making it up as he went.

Here are some facts to remember should you get one of these vaccine scam

ecalls:truth is that not everyone is going to be eligible. ose who haven’t had any previous Covid vaccines cannot get the omicron vaccine until they take the other ones. en you have to wait two months before getting the new one.

e P zer booster will be for those age 12 and over, with the Moderna for those 18 and up. ey don’t know yet about children younger than those ages.

No, at this point there haven’t been any clinical trials about how well the omicron version works. Mice, yes, but people, no. (Moderna and P zer both did mini-tests of 600 people each.)

e omicron vaccine will cover not only the omicron BA.4 and BA.5 subvariants, but also the original Covid as well. It’s called a “bivalent” vaccine because it covers both.

But the big thing to remember: ese scammers don’t want to help you get the new omicron booster. ey only want your personal information.

A Big Thank You!

A big thanks to the team at The "Original" Red Osier Landmark Restaurant in Stafford for serving a delicious lunch to our members this past Friday in celebration of our awesome staff and the retirement of one of our coworkers. Tender roast beef and juicy chicken sandwiches were accompanied by generous servings of scratch-made pasta salad and potato salad. Everything was fresh, tasty, and cheerfully served with a good time had by all. Thank you!

Very Happy

I would truly like to thank the people that have been working on Route 63 and our town of Dansville. They are doing a wonderful job. It is hot and dirty work, but it has been long overdue. Again, thank you all!

Forever Grateful

On August 24th, I choked on food while eating lunch and lost my breath. I managed to call 911, and the gentleman operator stayed on the line with me, calming and reassuring me, until the EMT Team from Fishers Fire Company arrived at my home. The scare was unbelievably frightening and traumatic. The EMT Team was extremely professional and very kind. Thankfully, my emergency had a happy ending. We are so very fortunate to have these two agencies in our community. I am forever indebted to to them.

Shoutout to NYSDOT

A huge shoutout to the NYSDOT on Union Street in Spencerport for grinding down a gigantic bump in front of our house that caused empty tractor trailers to make the sound of a bomb going off in our neighborhood! Now we won't be awakened in the middle of the day or night! Thank You! David T. - Churchville

My husband took our car to have its free annual undercoat checkup. As always, the manger asked if he would like to have any other services done to the car as well, such as detailing, cleaning, etc. My husband replied, “No thank you, just the undercoat checked.” The manager said to my husband, “I didn’t think you would by the way you are dressed!” This was said to my hardworking husband because he had on his blue-collar work clothes. Other rude comments were made about the age of our vehicle. I didn’t know you had to wear a suit and tie to get respect [there]. I find this incident unprofessional, inappropriate, and disrespectful! Someone has to do the dirty work. By the way, my husband cleans up well!

Country Roads

To whomever ranted about their road: I used to live on a country road, and almost every year, they would grade the road because of potholes, then roll it. Then, when it rained, the road was a mud hole. Why can’t it be fixed correctly? People pay enough in taxes to keep them maintained. It isn’t a long road.

Volume on High

Has anyone besides my wife and I noticed that the volume at concerts and movie theaters has become so loud that ithey are unpleasant to attend? The movie we went to see was so loud that, even with earplugs, my wife was forced to leave the theater. And when did the bass become a solo instrument? I went to the concert to hear the star, not the bass. Sound mixers as a group must be deaf from attending too many concerts.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH By Keith Roach, M.D.

Hiatal Hernia Is Not Correlated to Asthma Medication

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 80 years old, still work full-time and have generally good health, except for adult-onset asthma. Advair 250/50 was prescribed for me over 10 years ago, and I’ve been taking it regularly each morning, thoroughly rinsing each time to prevent thrush. About five years ago, I developed an abdominal hernia just below my waistline. My primary physician referred me to a general surgeon, who did a very thorough exam, including an MRI from the jaw down. He discovered an esophageal hernia in addition to the abdominal hernia, and told me that a specialist would have to perform the double surgery. His advice was to avoid surgery, leaving it as a last resort. He prescribed famotidine twice daily to preclude acid reflux. That generally works, but not always.

My question is, does Advair 250/50 cause or contribute to an esophageal hernia? -- D.A.A.

ANSWER: A hiatal hernia (“hiatus” means “gap” in Latin), also called an esophageal or paraoesophageal hernia, is when the hole in the diaphragm through which the esophagus passes is larger than normal, so other abdominal organs, especially the stomach, can slide through the hole from the abdomen into the Mostchest.hiatal

hernias are thought to be congenital, meaning you were born with the propensity to have a larger-than-needed hole in the diaphragm. Most people with this condition have no symptoms and do not need treatment. The unusual person with symptoms from a sliding hiatal hernia is usually treated medically. Like you, they are prescribed famotidine, which reduces stomach acid. In the rare case when the paraoesophageal hernia is so large that the stomach gets stuck inside the chest, or when other abdominal organs enter the chest, a person may require surgery.

Neither asthma nor Advair, a combination of an inhaled steroid (fluticasone) and a long-acting beta agonist (salmeterol), is related to hiatal hernias.

KIDS AND SLEEP

School-aged children are busier than ever before, and some may be sacrificing sleep to accommodate their lifestyles. The National Sleep Foundation says school-aged children need between nine and 11 hours of sleep each night to function at a healthy level. Sleep deprivation can be linked to a host of health ailments, including issues affecting the development of the brain. Growing evidence suggests that lack of sleep can cause disturbances in metabolic rates that could affect the risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. A recent study from Johns Hopkins University found that, for each additional hour of sleep a child gets, the risk of that child becoming overweight or obese decreases by 9 percent. Children who slept the least, according to the research, had a 92 percent higher risk of being overweight or obese compared to children with longer sleep duration. The NSF adds that poor or inadequate sleep can lead to mood swings, behavioral problems and cognitive problems that impact kids’ ability to learn in school. To promote good sleep habits in children, parents and other caregivers can establish consistent sleep/ wake routines; ensure children avoid excess caffeine, particularly late in the day; create a cool, dark sleep environment; keep televisions and other media devices out of bedrooms; and help children work through stressors that may impact sleep.

“I’m dreading fall. It is a terrifying season,” he says... “Everything shriveling up and dying.” I don’t know how to answer. Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale. I’ve never thought to be frightened of it.

STATISTICS SHOW JUST HOW BIG SMALL BUSINESS IS

No business is too small to be a small business. In fact, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that microbusinesses, which are defined as firms that employ between one and nine employees, accounted for 75 percent of all private-sector employers as recently as 2013.

Extend the life of your vehicle:

Scale back on short trips.

The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle.Over time,reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well.

If car battery terminals are heavily corroded, the quickest and easiest way to clean them is to pour carbonated soft drink over them. It will eat the corrosion away. Baking soda mixed with water will also do the trick.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Mazzotta

Building a Pet First-Aid Kit

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I read in a guide about cutting dogs’ toenails that styptic will stop bleeding if you cut their paws. What is that, and where do I get it? -- Perry in Dallas

DEAR PERRY: Styptic powder can be used on small nicks and tiny cuts to stop bleeding and reduce pain. at’s helpful when trimming pets’ toenails, which can be a traumatic experience for them, especially if you should trim a little too far up the nail and accidentally cut the quick. e powder is applied with a cotton ball or so cloth. Most owners keep it right next to them as they trim their pets’ nails, so it can be applied immediately.

In fact, styptic powder should be an essential part of something every pet owner has: an easy-toaccess rst-aid kit for their pets. You don’t have to buy a complete kit; you can assemble a few key items and store them in a tightly sealed plastic container.

In addition to the powder, a pet rst-aid kit should have gauze and tape, a small bar of soap, a disinfectant like hydrogen peroxide or alcohol wipes, Benadryl (plain, with no ibuprofen or acetaminophen), cotton balls and disinfecting hand wash (for you). Its main purpose is to treat small cuts and scrapes, but you can add other items that you think are essential, including the veterinarian’s phone number, extra identi cation tags, copies of your pet’s shot records and a spare leash. More ideas can be found at the Humane Society of the United States’ website.

Unfortunately, many people now feel that COVID isn’t a deadly threat anymore, but if you’re an older adult or a person with chronic or disabling conditions, getting COVID can still kill you. Getting Vaccinated was de nitely the right decision for me.“

David Wantuck - Amherst, NY

“Everyone is di erent. If you catch COVID, there’s no way to predict how severe it might be. It can kill you or you can have no symptoms at all. That’s why I got Vaccinated.”

Krystle Babbs - Bu alo, NY

If you are listening to all the misinformation out there, listen to this. The COVID vaccine is still the safest and most e ective way of reducing risk of a serious illness or death. Just ask your doctor, I did.”

NOW HERE’S A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* “I make presents pretty by cutting leftover gift wrap into quarter-inch strips, curling them and attaching them to the gift. The more the better. It’s attractive and makes an impression.”

-- M.F. in Washington

* “I love to have sauteed, sliced mushrooms, and I use my egg slicer to get perfect slices. It’s very handy and much easier to use than doing it with a knife.”

-- K.P. in Arizona

* To make your own ammoniabased pretreatment for laundry stains, mix together equal parts water, liquid detergent and ammonia in a spray bottle. Never use with bleach.

* You can use a soft cloth dampened with vinegar to clean greasy stains off of suede shoes. This also works on patent leather.

* “To clean plastic, vented hairbrushes, stick them in the dishwasher. You also can put toothbrushes in the dishwasher periodically.”

-- E.L. in Michigan

“If you or your child has a wood splinter, soak the finger/toe in icy water. The water swells the wood, making it easier to remove, while the iciness numbs the area, making it less painful.” -- R.D. in Oregon

BOOST ENERGY AT THE OFFICE

Eat a productivity-friendly lunch. If afternoons are when your productivity really starts to drop off, it might be time to reconsider what you eat for lunch. The body, which converts the foods we eat into glucose that energizes our brains and promotes alertness, processes different types of foods differently. So the food you eat for lunch may affect your energy levels for the rest of the day. For example, eating pasta provides a quick burst of energy because pasta releases glucose quickly. But that burst is often followed by a noticeable downturn in energy levels sparked by fading glucose levels that make it difficult for the brain to focus. In contrast, fruits and vegetables aid in the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that helps the brain stay motivated and engaged. Including some fruits and vegetables in your lunch or snacks may just lead to a more productive workday.
